Designing for Emotional Wellbeing

Designing for Emotional Wellbeing focuses on the intersection of architecture and interior design with mental health, emphasizing how spatial environments can influence emotional states. Participants will explore various design strategies that promote comfort, tranquility, and psychological resilience within built environments. The course structure includes hands-on projects that require the application of theoretical concepts, enabling learners to create spaces that foster emotional wellbeing.
The curriculum is designed to provide practical insights into the psychological impacts of design choices, ranging from color theory to spatial configurations.
